Cyclone Montha, forming over the southeast Bay of Bengal, has put Andhra Pradesh on high alert due to forecasts of heavy to very heavy rainfall and strong winds. The cyclone is expected to make landfall near Kakinada, between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam. In response, the state government has intensified its preparedness measures to minimize potential damage and ensure public safety. Cyclone Montha’s movement underscores the importance of disaster management systems and early warning mechanisms in mitigating the impact of severe weather events along India’s eastern coastline.
